I am using win-kex on WSL2 trying to use the GUI, but I have a known connection problem, so I need to run this command before to successfully connect:

sudo mount -o remount rw /tmp/.X11-unix

I added this to sudoers as end line of file:

myusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /tmp/.X11-unix mount -o remount rw /tmp/.X11-unix

But it keeps asking me for the password. Why? I don't want to avoid all sudo passwords request, just that command. But that doesn't work.

  • Not an answer but I don’t understand the mount command. .X11-unixshould be a file, not a mount, so why the remount?

  • Well, actually I have the same question, but that's the way it works, only when I run that command kex works. Right now I'm trying this other way: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/369852/… , but I'm having problems with file on sudoers.d

  • And I got that 'mount' command from here: stackoverflow.com/questions/70577819/…

    I think you need an escaped comma between the remount and rw and why is /tmp/.X11-unix appended to the command? Do you run /tmp/.X11-unix mount -o remount,rw /tmp/.X11-unix or just mount -o remount,rw /tmp/.X11-unix? I ask because they are not the same and sudoers will not treat them the same. You need to comma separate different commands.

    line should be myusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: mount -o remount\,rw /tmp/.X11-unix (note escaped comma, as per man sudoers)
